It's year of the 6 watt, 14 nanometer Atom (sold as Celeron N or Pentium N). There is/was some ARM Android laptop, which you likely do not want. I'm sure someone can make a Tegra laptop right now that will run the whole Xorg, GNU, OpenGL etc. deal but how will you justify selling it to the general public?
The $1 million question, how do you do ctrl-alt-f1 on a Virtualbox? Enter that and of course the host machine will think it was meant for it and will drop you in the host's full screen console, not the guest's. Thus if you bork Xorg on a VM and didn't set up ssh or the networking needed for ssh (or a serial console which you connect to.. how, exactly?) then the VM is lost, at least in its current state. Duh.
To build on this, sedans always get a free pass but the large or high end ones like BMW Series 5 and 7, Mercedes, Peugeot 607 etc. and whatever the american equivalent are really do pollute as much or more than SUVs. If you go looking for oversized SUV just to make a point don't forget about the useless engines with 8, 10 or even 12 cylinders on the higher end versions of sedans.
To be logically consistent, we should shame the owners/drivers/users of sedans not just those of SUVs.
Doesn't the idea of race date back to the early 19th century or something like that? I think races didn't exist in pre-industrial, medieval or antique times. You did have kingdoms, tribes, empires, and you were likely to own slaves of the same "race" as you.
Now maybe there is such thing as ethnicity, I don't really know how it's defined.
Inflation doesn't hurt the poor if minimum wage, welfare payments and so on are adjusted for inflation (statutory wage levels are increased too). They also have either debts and no savings, or no debt and no savings. So inflation tends to be neutral or beneficial. Of course the inflation indexes may be slanted (such as flat screen going down and food costs going up), manipulated or government policies to increase the cost of tobacco (for example) hurt the poor.
What if my savings are $100, they're remunerated at 1% at the end of the year but the inflation is 2%. Now I only have an effective $99. Big fucking deal lol.
But at the same time we ought to wish these weapons to never be used or very little used. The more useless they are, the better (for those on the receiving end)
Thanks for the tip. I shall make categories for CRAP, but also UNFINISHED - meaning games that aren't really in a finished state, not that I didn't play through - and INCOMPATIBLE because I can't be assed to buy a new graphics card to play a handful games (yay linux)
Think of users born in the 90s, where are they supposed to have used Unix? (not Linux)
In particular, commercial Unix on the desktop existed in the 20th century but not since, with OSX as an exception. But will you run DHCP and DNS etc. on an OSX machine or ssh -X into one and get a Finder window, I think not. It's too late to dumpster dive for Unix workstations (like when 15" CRTs were all over the place on the streets but now they're gone)
Now there's BSD, its main draw is for making a $1000 file server with ZFS, after OpenSolaris came and showed you could do that but then died because Oracle. Nerds may even use OpenBSD. But most everyone uses debian (or sid), ubuntu and Mint. It's a pain to learn other ways to install software when linux already has apt-get and make (or tarballs with binaries in them), to deal with potential differences from GNU tools or to set up the prompt to something different than as a straight "$" or "%" when linux comes with "user@host/path/directory $" out of the box, and actually supports your physical hardware.
Rant aside it's probably good times to run BSD now but I have the feeling you would do it at home because using linux isn't hard enough.
Windows 10 added built-in support for that - package repositories. Although I have no idea what Apple, Oracle, Adobe etc. have done or intended to do with it. A safe bet would be to wait for the release of Windows Server 2016, then in that time frame there should be more maturity and support, along with the ssh client.
But if your several years old PC happens to not be great enough then you're fucked. It's a chore to upgrade a perfectly working motherboard (and most of what goes on it) to get more CPU and RAM when it's still very good for anything non-gaming (like a ton faster than a $800 smartphone, with 10x-20x the storage). And it has little or no resale value.
In the recent months RAM has gone down in price enough. PC manufacturers won't spend an extra $20 to $40 for RAM and/or a few extra $ for a motherboard to have four slots instead of two.
What's comfortable is going back to the desktop and the browser's memory has (mostly) not been paged out to disk and there's still gigabytes of disk cache. Although 8GB should usually be enough for this.
Well if you get back in time and step on a dead leaf, you will kill insects that a slug will then eat, thus a rat won't have the same encounter with the slug meaning its sperm cells configuration inside of gonads won't be the same when it meets its significant other, and baby rat will or will not be eaten by a bird of prey who will shit at a different time or not at all on your great-grandmother's post box, meaning in any "alternate timeline" starting before you were conceived or born (or even after that) it will be a different you, likely different enough or not timely enough that this is not the real you at all thus you don't exist and can't be reading this thread here.
What's lame is lack of dual VGA on graphics card, or worse : most graphics cards and all nvidia ones still have one VGA, some recent AMD ones have none. DVI-I counted as a VGA output for the purpose of this post.
There are HDMI to VGA and Displayport to VGA adapters, the latter have crashed in price thanksfully (used to be 100€ and they seem to be available for 10€ or less) now what's needed is Displayport on 30€ graphics cards and 50€ motherboards it works both for 4K freaks and CRT freaks dammit.
The rationale for serial being that it isn't USB that's supposed to draw up to 2.5W power depending on the device, which is too much on a tablet. Leave the original USB port alone.
Playstation Vita has 960x540, Nintendo DS has 256x192, low end smartphones have 800x480. Nintendo 3DS not much either. If anyone buys this it will likely be their mobile device with the biggest resolution they have.
NVMe gives a bit less latency than AHCI. It's a nice-to-have maybe but that's the most significant difference (NVMe is supposedly better with thousands of concurrent read or writes, we don't care much about that on a desktop) No great need to care but when it will be mundane hardware you should choose PCIe NVMe over PCIe AHCI and forget about it.
I know, I described what happens in "no Gnome 3 for you" land. Well, even on Mint 17.x Mate there's gnome-disks from gnome 3.10 as the "official" partition manager and I have the gnome 3.10 games installed. Printer manager says it's from Red Hat.

Isn't it a free-for-all where everything can overwrite or crash everything? Cool but impractical.

So year of linux on the ARM evaluation board.

They predate the older Israel, even.

If they don't keep Google Keep it would be a damn shame, from the name alone. About the same as Amazon Glacier melting your tapes.

Or what about a tablet with
- a serial port
The rationale for serial being that it isn't USB that's supposed to draw up to 2.5W power depending on the device, which is too much on a tablet. Leave the original USB port alone.
You can't shutdown the spent fuel (waste) radioactive decay
Or we prepare them for a life of playing on-line games for 12 hours a day, and relying on proprietary or institutional "apps" to do everything else.
I read the review and it says that the CPU is fast enough.
It does have four modern but low end 1.3GHz CPU.
It's easier to find productive software for a console than for many of the failed useless 8 bit computers of the 80s.
Playstation Vita has 960x540, Nintendo DS has 256x192, low end smartphones have 800x480. Nintendo 3DS not much either.
